Overview

Join us for a scenic social exploring field paths, woodland and the canal network surrounding Gnosall. Starting at The Navigation Inn in Gnosall, we will follow the canal and old railway into the village, crossing through the delightful boardwalks into the village. With a quick break to explore the church we then loop back into woodland alongside the Shropshire Union Canal. From here we take field tracks and paths to skirt the village and return us back to the canal, to head back to The Navigation Inn for a well deserved lunch!
